On the weekdays that I don’t work, all day until 5.20. Rest of the time, never.

Most of the day I am alone. I don’t mind most of the time though. (The night too I am alone).

Never, I have to kick my hubs out of the house on occasion or get out by myself.

When my child is with my parents, then it’s in the morning at home, on way to work, on way home from work and at home after work and sleeping. When she’s with me, it’s only on way to and from work, which is about 45 minutes each way.

I’d estimate around 73%. I do most things on my own and have a hard time meeting and relating to other people.

All except when eating lunch and supper. Does Fluthering count as being alone?

Most days, about an hour, inbetween the time my partner leaves for work and the time I do. Once a week (when I have a day off work that he doesn’t) I’m alone for about 12 hours, provided I don’t get so bored with the solitude that I hop on a bus and go into town.

4–6 hours, not as much as I would like. haha

Do you mean alone as in “engaged in solitary activities and not interacting with anyone” or alone as in “sole occupant of a defined exclusive space (house, apartment, room, office, cell)”?

I’m at home most of the time, and busy with my own things (like everyone else), but almost never the only one here. It’s a rare occasion, like maybe one hour a month, when I have the place to myself. For someone who used to live alone by choice for years, sometimes that’s hard.

90% of the time I have my space to myself
40% of the time I am not interacting with anyone (includes sleeping)

janbb's avatar

About 50 – 75 percent of the day.

YARNLADY's avatar

Very rarely am I home by myself. There is nearly always at least one other person here, and usually two or three.

I’m never without an animal companion. My son is with me all day. Pretty much I’m never alone. I personally like alone time, so I have to make alone moments happen.

When I sleep

glacial's avatar

At least 50%, unless I push myself to be around other people. There’s always so much to do!

hug_of_war's avatar

Not including sleep I’m awake for around 16 hours. I live with my family, but I spend a lot of time in my room. I work with my mom, so she drives. So from 7am (when we leave) till 3:30 to 4 I am around people, interacting (I work with people as my job so no cubicle job here). I probably spend 90% of my free time alone at least. I’d like to have someone to talk to, but my attempts at friend making have all been failures so despite living with others if I’m not working I’m alone.

Varies from 0 to 100%. I’m comfortable with either but it’s easier to tolerate the 0%, particularly on a steady basis. I’m always happy to go back to it after a couple 100% days.

rojo's avatar

⅓ of the time on work days.
0% on weekends.

anniereborn's avatar

0 percent
unless being all alone in a car once in awhile counts
sigh
